Please come on by the library the morning of January 20, 2009 and we’ll have the event going live. The library will start coverage at 8:00 AM and the swearing in takes place at 9:00 (noon on the east coast). If you can’t make it by to watch with us in the library, you can watch the event on-line here and most of the major news sources will stream the swearing-in live as well.

Executive Oath of Office: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 8

Now the trumpet summons us again–not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are–but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation”–a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

Thank you Shawn for your posting this information. I am delighted that USF will have the Inauguration of Barack H. Obama. It makes me want to come to the library just to view the ceremony. Does anyone know what is his middle name?
